Building a sub box

I'm going to be building my sub box for my 2 12in RE SX's. This thing JUST fits in the trunk of my car lol. The box is going to be [email protected] I'm hoping to pick up my MDF tomorrow. For how big the box is going to be, i'm only going be paying $50 for all the MDF. It's 3/4in thick. So what kinda stuff will I need to use to put it together? Glue? Screws?

Re: Building a sub box

Screws for sure, a bit to predrill the holes for the screws. Probably glue, unless you're like me and use like 60,000 screws. And once again, glue/silicone/caulk to run over the seams after it's built.

a Nail gun can work fine. But yeah wood glue definately. Why 50 for wood? is it expensive where u at? for me 1 sheet is 22 bux and I just finished a 3 cube box tuned to 33 hz with about 1/3 a sheet left.

This is a BIG box. I need 2 sheets of 36inx23.5in for the top and bottom. Like I said before, this box will JUST fit in my trunk. And plus $50 in Canadian Price. Thats probably about $40 US Price. And i'll be getting them to cut all the pieces out that I need from the wood I buy cause I had an incident before using power tools before. And then they'll be shipping the stuff to my house after they are done. So thats all free, I just gotta pay for the wood. But anyways, i'm going to go get my wood now lol.

I like using Liquid Nails Heavy Duty Construction adhesive and 1.5" drywall screws (dont forget to predrill). The screws pull everything together nice, and the Liquidnails lets you get your bonding and your sealing done in one step.... just use a healthy ammount, and when the stuff squirts out the sides, smooth it down with your finger to seal everything up nice

Wood glue is better, It makes a chemical bond with mdf, Liquid nails=crap
